Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2006Tim Tam Ice cream
MMMmmmmm. Right now I have four pairs of pitiful little eyes watching me, and have discovered that Congo (biggest, fattest, and most masculine kitten) has an extremely pitiful, small, weak, kittenish mew. He is also very good at looking starved; probably why he is so hefty. For those of you unfortunate enough not to know, a Tim Tam is a delicious, chocolate covered and filled biscuit, deadly in it's addictiveness, that is to Australia what the Oreo is to America. And the ice cream is worse. They will be allowed to lick the plate. > MMMmmmmm.

Do you realize how much time I will have to spend working out every day with the easy avaiability of Tim Tams all around me? Now there's ice cream too. It'll be the end of me ;-)  SignatureBritta Purring is an automatic safety valve device for dealing with happiness overflow.

Don't go near the ice cream fridge, whatever you do!! There are several different tim tam flavours......mmmmm think I'll take another trip to the fridge before DH gets back to catch me at it..... > Britta > Purring is an automatic safety valve device for dealing with happiness > overflow. > Check out pictures of Vino at: > http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album Even though I live in Australia, I had not heard of tim tam ice cream before Meeee so *kindly* alerted me to its existence. *sigh* I had, very cleverly, by-passed the ice-cream isle with my eyes averted. Now I have No Option by to try the danged stuff to see if it really is as addictive as the biscuits (cookies). damn, damn, damn! Krispy Kreme doughnuts I can give or take; they do nothing for me. But anyone standing between me and a tim tam biscuit is in danger! Tish >> MMMmmmmm.

I keep sneaking to the fridge for *just one more* mouthful!! And if you do, buy the small pack. THE SMALL PACK!!! It tastes *exactly* like tim tam, has choc flakes through it, and tim tam balls!!!

Either she restrained herself mightily, or she had bought several packages. <G> Joy > MMMmmmmm.

I just didn't want to offend the americans!! they are very attached to their oreos, and most of the poor dears probably never have seen a tim tam, let alone tasted one. Besides, it would be cruel to mention it when they can't have any... > >> MMMmmmmm.

They are quite expensive, but worth it occasionally. ;-) Joy >> >> MMMmmmmm.

Well, you can get everything in the US....for a > price I guess! What do they do, fly to australia and buy them?? This outfit specializes in Australian things. They have Ugg boots, all sorts of Cadbury goodies, and a wide variety of other things. I discovered the Tim Tams by accident. I imagine they have the items shipped here from Oz. Joy I think I am going to be in heaven here real soon. I got invited to go to the Heresy and other candies manufactures wholesale convention In Orlando.

Besides, it would be > cruel to mention it when they can't have any... Speaking for myself, here is one American who is not offended or otherwise aggrieved! Please continue telling us about the delights of other places -- I find it fascinating and a lot of fun to know that kind of thing. Besides, if I ever get to Australia again I'll have something new to look forward to! Same for everyone one in places other than Australia! Sandy >>> You forgot to mention that Tim Tams are at least ten times as good >>> as Oreos [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > places other than Australia! > Sandy Ditto that sentiment! I might add that I, for one, am not so fond of Oreos - except the cream filling. The chocolate cookie is too dark and phony tasting for my like! I prefer the 'plain ol' vanilla cream sandwich cookies. Anyone care to 'import' some of those Tim Tams for us culture-lacking Americans? > Anyone care to 'import' some of those Tim Tams for us > culture-lacking Americans? Actually, you can order them. Here's a site I found online: http://about-australia-shop.com/advanced_search_result.php?search_in_description =1&inc_subcat=1&categories_id=&pfrom=&pto=&x=8&y=6&keywords=tim+tam Someone brought some to my office a few months ago.

I really don't know why Arnotts haven't yet! Whoever invented it should be canonized!! (or boiled in oil, depending if you're on a diet or not....) It's said that some people only come back to Australia for the Tim Tams..... > >>>> You forgot to mention that Tim Tams are at least ten times as good > >>>> as Oreos [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > canonized!!

They are one of the best things I had to eat in Oz. The other thing at the top of the list was the kangaroo fillet with a sauce made of plums and peppers that I had in Kakadu National Park near Darwin.

I get to hear about all the places I would love to visit one day. And I would have sent Tim Tams with my christmas cards, If I thought customs would let them through!! FedEx them they will never know they really aren't going to worry about a chocolate bar And you cause so much trouble girl you start talking about all the good food and you gets use hungry out here.

Do you remember what I did for my DW on valentines day the breakfast in bed and so on. We might not act like it but when we are pampered it means as much to us as it does to you Except when we are sick than we want are mommy Both me and my DW try to do something for each other just to get a smile sometimes. When I have a long hard day my favorite thing to have done is for her to come up behind me and give me a body hug like I am the only person alive. The words I missed you today mean more than how was your day to me.

Customs will let them through, but if we send tim tams to one person, us Aussies will have to send them to everyone, and I'm not that rich! Maybe we can chip in to send a box to the US and Burope and then elect someone to distribute them from there. or something. Yowie You could send them all to me... but I'm not responsible if they all get lost in the post!

Maybe you should disguise them as a bomb, or some anthrax or something...I've heard they get through all right!! Seeing as I'm TRYING to change my eating habits for the better lately, I'm SO relieved the whole Pacific Ocean and the International Date Line is between me and Tim Tams AND Tim Tam Ice cream, or I would be in serious trouble! Oreos..... I can live without those and pretty easily. But chocolate covered biscuits... THAT's dangerous! Melissa > Seeing as I'm TRYING to change my eating habits for the better lately, > I'm SO relieved the whole Pacific Ocean and the International Date Line [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Melissa That's exactly the same way I feel about it. Joy This thread has gone on WAY TOO LONG. I'm sitting here, waiting for dinner to finish cooking, and you're all gas-bagging about CHOCOLATE. It's Just Not Fair! Self-control only works sometimes. BTW, have any Aussies (don't know if it's elsewhere) discovered Nestle Club Cappucino-flavoured dark chocolate. It says on the front of the packet "rich in antioxidants", so it *must be good for you! It is soooooo good. Yowie, I do believe it fixes bruised fingernails like magic, but only if you eat at least half a packet at a time. LOL Tish >Seeing as I'm TRYING to change my eating habits for the better lately, >I'm SO relieved the whole Pacific Ocean and the International Date Line [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >Melissa > This thread has gone on WAY TOO LONG.

Did I mentioned that for the first 6 months of our relationship, Joel bought me a dark choclate orange every fortnight? The we moved and the supermarket at the new palce didn't stock chocolate oranges, not even the milk chocolate variety! Now I only get them for Christmas :-( Yowie > This thread has gone on WAY TOO LONG. I'm sitting here, waiting for > dinner to finish cooking, and you're all gas-bagging about CHOCOLATE.

I'm an absolute sucker for mint slice biscuits (cookies), so got some of that. Well, it looks kinda strange, but it tastes *sooo good*! Lucky for us it comes in small containers (1.25L), so I feel slightly less guilty about buying it. The other mitigating factor is that there are three of us here (me, DH and my mother), and it doesn't go very far between the three of us. I can absolutely see how Meee could easily eat an entire packet of TimTam ice cream by herself. *sigh* - like I need another addiction!

A colleague who is a Kiwi introduced me to the TimTam biscuit and I am only saved from desperation because from time to time my local supermarket gets them hut TimTam ice cream?!!
